The
docents at the museum were very helpful in informing the students about the
early history of the great city of Detroit.
Detroit
was settled in 1701. This largely forested area was first known for fur
trading. Later it became known as the Motor City. Even though Henry Ford did
not invent the automobile, he revolutionized the industry by instituting the
assembly line and the $5 a day pay for workers.
The
students enjoyed visiting the streets of days long gone by with their stone and
wood roadways. The trip was capped off with lunch at PizzaPapalis in
Greektown. This was a wonderful trip that allowed everyone to experience
the Detroit of yesteryear and today.
